Looks like I am getting a classic silver tC. I see all these threads on the net about the rust spots and easy chipping. Many seemed to be on older 05/06 models.

Has this issue cleared up on the 2007's?

My 06 has no paint issues...........

The warrantys on rust are 5 year/unlimited mileage.

Chipping was with the 05 I believe, but nothing with 06s so far.



Complaining is futile when you supported the victory.

chips on the underside of the skirt are almost definitely from road debris. thats not a paint defect. chips on the upper side like in the door sill, thats most likely a defect.

Yea, I didn't really like there were any paint issues... Granted we don't get true clear coats because these cars don't break 20K. Classic silver is the way to go, it doesn't really show any chips like a dark car does.
